(Reuters) – India’s markets regulator on Friday extended the suspension in trading of derivative contracts of some grains and food items until the end of March.
The grains and edible items included in Friday’s directive were paddy, wheat, chickpeas (chana), mustard seeds, soyabean, crude palm oil and moong.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India had first initiated the suspension in December 2021.
